Bug ID: 2769
Summary: r1315: apple_update_wx_flags() calls unavailable API
when compiling to deploy on older macOS
Product: PCRE
Version: 10.37 (PCRE2)
Hardware: x86-64
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: Code
Assignee: Philip.Hazel@???
Reporter: siegel@???
CC: pcre-dev@???
I'm building r1315 as a "universal" library (x86_64 + arm64) for deployment on
macOS 10.14 and later.
During build, I get the following compiler warnings:
```

I haven't tried yet, but I suspect that the JIT compiler will crash when run on
any version of macOS prior to 11.0.
The solution is as described in the warning; you can use a formulation like
this:
```
static SLJIT_INLINE void apple_update_wx_flags(sljit_s32 enable_exec)
{
if (__builtin_available(macOS 11.0, *)) {
pthread_jit_write_protect_np(enable_exec);
}
}
```
